Singer Sia performed a live rendition of track ‘Bird Set Free’ last night (March 14) during a special SXSW broadcast on ‘The Jimmy Kimmel’ show.
The new track is taken from her new album ‘This Is Acting’, which consists entirely of songs Sia wrote for other artists before deciding to keep them for herself. Kanye West collaboration ‘Reaper’ also appears on the album. ‘This Is Acting’ is the follow-up to Sia’s 2014 album ‘1000 Forms Of Fear’, which featured the hit singles ‘Elastic Heart’ and ‘Chandelier’.
According to Consequence of Sound, the singer was performing at the Samsung Galaxy Life Fest at South by Southwest, when a live broadcast of her performing the track was shown on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night chat show last night. You can watch it in the player below.
